The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported Li was wearing dark clothing while riding a black bike eastbound on the highway east of Keys Boulevard in Clearlake Oaks about 9:30 p.m. Thursday when a GMC Sonoma traveling in the same direction hit him.

The driver of the pickup, William Hartman of Yuba City, told investigators he didn't see the cyclist before the crash, according to the CHP.

Li, who was not wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was Lake County's sixth roadway death and second bicycle fatality of the year.

Cyclist Lloyd Lee Knight, 59, of Lower Lake died after being hit by two vehicles while riding along Highway 29 south of downtown Lower Lake in foggy conditions the morning of Jan. 8.
